Roja Aslani - Nostalgia Isn't What it Used to be More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Feb 05 to Feb 13 This series examines armchair nostalgia—a longing for a past that has never been lived. This can take the form of nostalgia towards past film and fiction. The work explores this theme through fan culture, souvenirs, and the fans themselves (for example, Star Trek fans, or “Trekkies”). Aslani asks questions about how fictional nostalgic objects manifest physically, and how they function in reality. She uses these quotidian objects as mnemonic aids for my models (non-actors in their own homes). As the model re-enacts the film from memory, Aslani documents the temporal act and presents the unaltered photo to the viewer.

Scott Rogers - Wireframe More Info
|
+ My Favorites
Feb 05 to Feb 13 Wireframe is a site-specific installation that uses photo-luminescent tape to trace the unique architecture of the main gallery at Stride. Inspired by early ’80s science-fiction film sets, video games, and AutoCAD, Wireframe creates tension between real and virtual space, converting the gallery into an immersive three-dimensional drawing. Through this ‘drawing’ process, the individuality of the site is revealed, positioning the gallery as a collaborator in the work. This empathetic turn creates a radical shift of perspective amongst audience members, proposing an inter-subjective relationship; we program the gallery while the gallery simultaneously programs us.
Scott Rogers would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Alberta Creative Development Initiative in the production of this work.

BMO Centre Address: 20 Roundup Way SE Calgary AB CAN
Abstract: Human sexuality is a universal phenomenon, but sex acts and their meaning vary with context and culture. Ancient Peru – an area of the world where culture and sexual mores developed independent of Old World influences – provides a check on variety in human sexuality with imagery that has been variously described as fertility related, erotic, pornographic, or morally degenerate. The Moche people, who flourished on the north coast of Peru in the first centuries A.D., recorded the most intimate details of their sex lives in ceramic effi gy vessels. Why? Drawing upon archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnography to create an indigenous cultural context within which to view the subject matter, this presentation argues that, for the Moche, non-propagative sexual practices were part of a continuum which transcended the procreation/pleasure dichotomy, and ultimately were directed at the dead.
